Psalms 66
1 For the end, a Song of Psalm of resurrection. Shout to God, all the earth.
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene, he waiata. Hamama, e te whenua katoa, ki te Atua:
2 O sing praises to his name; give glory to his praise.
Himenetia te kororia o tona ingoa, kia whai kororia te whakamoemiti ki a ia.
3 Say to God, How awful are your works! through the greatness of your power your enemies shall lie to you.
Mea atu ki te Atua, Ano te wehi o au mahi! Ma te nui o tou kaha e ngohengohe ai ou hoariri ki a koe.
4 Let all the earth worship you, and sing to you; let them sing to your name. (Pause)
E koropiko katoa te whenua ki a koe; ka himene ki a koe; ka himene ratou ki tou ingoa. (Hera)
5 Come and behold the works of God; [he is] terrible in [his] counsels beyond the children of men.
Haere mai kia kite i nga mahi a te Atua: mataku rawa tana mahi ki nga tama a te tangata.
6 Who turns the sea into dry land; they shall go through the river on foot; there shall we rejoice in him,
Nana i mea te moana hei tuawhenua: haere a waewae ana ratou ra roto i te awa; hari ana matou ki a ia i reira.
7 who by his power is Lord over the age, his eyes look upon the nations; let not them that provoke [him] be exalted in themselves. (Pause)
Ko tona kawanatanga tuturu tonu i runga i tona kaha; e titiro ana ona kanohi ki nga tauiwi; kei whakakake te hunga tutu. (Hera)
8 Bless our God, you Gentiles, and make the voice of his praise to be heard;
Whakapaingia to tatou Atua, e nga iwi; kia rangona te reo whakamoemiti ki a ia.
9 who quickens my soul in life, and does not suffer my feet to be moved.
Nana nei hoki i mau ai to tatou wairua ki te ora, kahore hoki e tukua e ia o tatou waewae kia nekehia.
10 For you, O God, has proved us; you have tried us with fire as silver is tried.
Kua whakamatauria hoki matou e koe, e te Atua: whakarewaia ana matou e koe, ano he hiriwa e whakarewaia ana.
11 You brought us into the snare; you laid afflictions on our back.
Kua kawea nei matou e koe ki roto ki te kupenga: whakapikaua ana e koe te mea whakamamae ki o matou hope.
12 You did mount men upon our heads; we went through the fire and water; but you brought us out into [a place of] refreshment.
I meinga ano e koe o matou upoko kia ekengia hoihotia e te tangata; i ra roto matou i te kapura, i te wai: heoi whakaputaina mai ana matou e koe ki te wahi momona.
13 I will go into your house with whole burnt offerings; I will pay you my vows,
Ka tomo ahau me nga tahunga tinana ki tou whare; ka whakamana ahau i aku kupu taurangi ki a koe,
14 which my lips framed, and my mouth uttered in my affliction.
Era i puaki i oku ngutu, i korerotia e toku mangai i ahau e pouri ana.
15 I will offer to you whole burnt sacrifices full of marrow, with incense and rams; I will sacrifice to you oxen with goats. (Pause)
Ka whakaekea e ahau mau nga mea momona hei tahunga tinana, ngatahi ano me te mea kakara o nga hipi toa; ka tukua e ahau he puru, he koati. (Hera)
16 Come, hear, and I will tell, all you that fear God, how great things he has done for my soul.
Haere mai, whakarongo, e koutou katoa e wehi ana ki te Atua, a maku e whakapuaki tana i mea ai ki toku wairua.
17 I cried to him with my mouth, and exalted him with my tongue.
I tangi toku mangai ki a ia: i whakanuia ano ia e toku arero.
18 If I have regarded iniquity in my heart, let not the Lord listen [to me].
Ki te whakaaroa e toku ngakau te he, e kore te Ariki e whakarongo mai.
19 Therefore God has listened to me; he has attended to the voice of my prayer.
Nei ra he pono kua whakarongo te Atua, kua tahuri ia ki toku reo inoi.
20 Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
Kia whakapaingia te Atua, kihai nei i whakapeau ke i taku inoi, i tana atawhai hoki ki ahau.
